One of Melbourne’s finest cabaret artistes, Mama Alto, makes her long overdue return to Perth for this Australian Premiere.
Mama Alto is a jazz singer, cabaret artiste and gender transcendent diva. Her liquid velvet voice comes to the fore in stunning and beguiling interpretations that turn already rich material inside-out. Traversing smoky torch songs, sumptuous jazz ballads and luscious vocals, Mama’s repertoire holds both familiar melodies and unexpected morsels.
With her soaring voice, exquisite sense of musicality and wondrously statuesque stage presence, Mama Alto continues to establish herself as one of Australia’s pre-eminent interpreters of the art of torch singing.
Enigmatic, multifaceted and resplendent, her weaving of song and story, triumph and tragedy, poignancy and pathos make for an unforgettable musical experience.
"Divine." - Tribuna de la Habana
“Virtuosic.” - San Francisco Chronicle
"Near flawless.” - The Age
"A knockout.” - Herald Sun
"Mama Alto is an exceptionally talented singer, who makes the question as to whether it is [the voice of] a woman or a man singing obsolete. It is clearly [the voice of] an angel." - The Conversation
